Microlight, Ultralite and ULM are all the same thing. Two different sorts though – fixed wing (like a small aeroplane) and flex-wing (with a kite-shaped wing and a bar to steer it). Ours is a flex-wing. It’s a bit like motor-cycling in the sky!
Outstanding entry this week Jude! I assume the “Wife” in this tale is you(?) That you got the pilots hand and yours in the reflection seems like you knew this challenge was coming.
Great entry Jude. Still working on my entry for this week’s theme.

Pure luck Jeff! I happened to find this shot in the depths of the archives. Yes I’m usually in the back seat – praying for zero turbulence!

And enjoying the hell out of the ride too I bet!
It’s pretty amazing how good those “pure luck” shots can be!

The back’s good for me – I’ve never had any inclination to be a pilot! 🙂

All kinds of navigation on this picture. Nice left turn idea for this week’s theme, Jude.

Thanks Rommel. I had probably just asked where the landing strip was!

What a view from up there! For you to lean out for a shot, it also shows that you completely trust that you were in good hands 🙂

Ah yes, I wouldn’t be up there with just anyone. My hubby used to be an aircraft engineer. 🙂
